My PC is on its very last legs now and randomly shuts down at inopportune moments almost every day. Today it did it during a copy/write process. I did a disk check in Windows 10 using the Command Prompt CHKDSK D: /F and nothing untoward flagged up but sometimes there are problems that aren't detected without doing a /R but that would take more than 24 hours on a 2TB drive.

Is there any free software you can recommend that queries the HDD's SMART interface so you can see if it's detecting bad sectors and whathaveyou?

Thanks.
 
Oh yeah, it's got to be a power problem. I'm just wondering whether every time it crashes if data is getting corrupted on my data drive. As I say, yesterday it went right in the middle of saving.

There's nothing in the event log about it.
